On Sunday, the Islamic State came within a whisker of blowing up the pope—not the more famous one, but Pope Tawadros II, leader of the Coptic Christians.

Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer reviews radical Islam’s efforts to trigger a crusade—and examines why the Catholic Church will benefit from such a fight.
